An aluminum PCB has a similar layout to any other PCB. It has a layer or layers of copper, solder mask and silkscreen layered over it. Instead of having a fiberglass or plastic substrate, though, an aluminum circuit board has a metal substrate. This base mainly contains a combination of aluminum. The metal core can consist entirely of metal or have a combination of fiberglass and aluminum. Aluminu...

A surface mount technology (SMT) stencil may also be called a PCB stentcil, solder paste stencil, or laser stencil. An SMT Stencil’s main purpose is to simply transfer the solder paste to a bare circuit board. A stainless steel foil is laser cut to create an opening for each surface mount device on the board. Once the printed circuit board (PCB) stencil is properly aligned with the top of the boar...

PCB design and manufacturing is a complex process managing thousands of components and connections across a multi-layer board. It is of critical importance to ensure the production yield is error-free and one way to improve fabrication yields is to perform a design rule check (DRC). Catching an error in the design phase will prevent a product from being scrapped due to power ground shorts, misalig...
